Horses Of Celebrated Men

It is generally known that Napoleon's white stallion, the horse be rode at Waterloo, was named Marengo and that Wellington's charger in the same battle was Copenhagen. The latter lived to be twenty-seven years old. The remains of Marengo are preserved in the Museum of the United Services, London. Do you remember the names of any of George Washington's horses? In nearly all of the Washington statues the Father of His Country is represented as on horseback, but what is the name of the animal he bestrides? Richard III. owned White Surrey, and it was for that splendid animal that he cried when he shouted, "My kingdom for a horse!" William III.'s favorite horse, Sorrel, had one eye. Savoy, the black horse of Charles VIII. of France, also had only one eye.
